Biography

Felix Baloy (b. 1943 Havana, Cuba) is a Cuban singer, sonero, and percussionist[2]. He has a Havana urban accent.[3] He has been a vocalist with many groups, including Chappotin Y Sus Estrellas, Revé, and Adalberto Alvarez y su Son, and most recently, the Afro-Cuban All Stars. He was one of the original members of the Afro-Cuban All Stars.

He also sang on the compilation album “Café Cubano”, produced through Putumayo World Music.

He has at least three solo albums, “Baila Mi Son” (2000), “Un Poquito de Fé” (2005), and “Un Solo Amor” (2008).

One reviewer described him as famous in Cuba but virtually unknown elsewhere, although he had hits in the 70’s[4]. Another reviewer described him as one of the most important soneros of the 70’s and 80’s.

His music has a message of standing up and speaking out for freedom and ones’ rights, a message which has been hailed as a response to colonialism.
